New York City [Editor's note: We try to keep our pages up to date. Sometimes we get busy, however. Check the Metropolitan Transit Authority's web site for the official word on fares.] Generally speaking, a ride (one-way) on subway or bus is $2.00. But NYC has recently given us "frequent riders" ways to save money.
ONE-WEEK CARD: For tourists, try the 7-day unlimited Metrocard for $24. Go anywhere, anytime, as often as you want, all week, for $17. ONE-DAY CARD (The "Fun Pass"): Now available in stations at the Metrocard vending machines, the $7, one-day unlimited Metrocard may be your best bet if you are coming into NYC for a day or two to audition. For up-to-date information on how to get around on New York's public transportation, visit the Metropolitan Transit Authority's web site at: |

The Metrocard is quick and easy, and it works on New York City Subways or Buses. The best deal going is the 30-day unlimited Metrocard for $76. If you take the train to and from work and you work 5 days a week, you will easily save at least $20 a month.
